Is it PGAD ? The most uncomfortable symptom I've ever had

I'll try to make it brief. So I'm 28, I've been having hypertonic pelvic floor since 3 years ago, but actually it started when I was 11, I had some urge to pee especially after bowel movement or ejaculation, I just got used to it but I was clenching my pelvis a lot to hold pee and I even clenched while masturbating. So in the last 3 years I had different flare ups, burning in urethra and glans, levator Ani spasm and many others but they just disappeared on their own. I saw some urologists who kept telling me I'm doing well and nothing is wrong there.

I lerant that clenching my pelvis isn't really good for me, so I started relaxing it as much as possible, 2 weeks ago I decided to masturbate while relaxing my pelvis instead of clenching. I ejaculated the first time normally and I wanted to go for a second round ( in which I used to clench 100% ) so when I was like 80% there close to ejaculation I felt my pelvis clenched so hard especially my pubic muscles and the the left adductor area and I lost erection and my heart started racing, I didn't panic actually, I was very calm and I just stopped without any fear.

When I went to sleep, I started getting like waves I'm about to ejaculate and they were annoying not enjoyable. When I slept, it all disappeared. It kept coming and disappearing for a week, the second week it got better, the waves became just like an echo of 1/10 or 2/10 max and they came especially if I think about them while sitting laying down on my side.

I'm in week 3, and it's better actually but still very annoying. What I noticed:

\- I developed anxiety ( I've never had it )

\- when I'm walking it's impossible to have the feeling.

\- if I touch with my hand I can feel it, but the constant friction with clothes while walking doesn't trigger it.

\- coffee truggers it like hell ( before it started I never had any problems with coffee)

\- the weirdest thing is when that feeling comes, my penis extremely shrinks ( like my pelvis is guarding)

I've looked for explanations, the most one convicted me is that I shocked my nervous system when I tried masturbating with a relaxed pelvis cuz it's been always used to it being clenched. So my nervous system now is overreacting thinking that it's protecting me by clenching my pelvis and it's staying in alert mode ( fight or flight) and the pudendal nerve is being irritated.

Has anyone of you guys went through this kind of situation? I've had many symptoms, but this one really fucked me up....

I guess I have the weirdest symptoms amongst you.

Hi ! I've been having this feeling of annoying arousal for 2 weeks now. The first week was worst but now I only get it in some positions and it's like 1 or 2/10 but still annoying. I noticed unlike most of you, it's always 0/10 when I'm walking and practicing sports. When I sit or lay down on my side I get the feeling against like 1/10.

The weirdest thing I think I only have is that my nervous system sees that sensation as a threat and it tighten my pelvis ( I can see my penis extremely shrinks ) and that's I guess due to hypertonic pelvic floor ( which I suffer from 3 years now )... Unlike some guys here who get hard and may even ejaculate....

I developed anxiety as well because of that hell ... Have no idea if it's gonna get better as my nervous system calms down or I'm really facked...

Does caffeine trigger PGAD for u ?

I've been having what I assume pgad symptoms for like 14 days. The first week was hell, then things started to get better slightly, The last 2 days were perfect and I thought I'm on the road to full recovery, but today I decided to have a cup of coffee, 30 mins later the symptoms came back and it took it like 7 hours to calm down again....

Does anyone here have the same experience?

M 28, I've been having pgad symptoms for a week now. Feeling like the start of being close to orgasm on and off throughout the day.

I noticed that when sleeping I don't feel anything at all as well as when I wake up.

Bowel movements also make it disappear.

It mainly comes when I think about it or I'm too stressed.

When I'm distracted it's not there.

It makes me wonder if if I have a permanent pgad or it's just fleeting... Especially I have tight pelvic floor for years.

Is PGAD always there ? Like it's there the feeling if coming to orgasm 24/7 and the feeling never goes away? Or it goes and comes back during the day like waves? Sometimes high and sometimes low?

How it started with you?

M 27 ( becoming 28 after 12 days ) I've been having pelvic floor problems since 3 years.... I've had different flare ups, burning sensations in glans and urethra, painful ejaculations, levator Ani spasm... Etc. but they all got better on their own and it's almost 2 years since the last flare up.

Last Sunday night, I was masturbating ( I'm used to clench my pelvis but that time I tried to keep it relaxed) so my nervous system thought it was something dangerous made my pelvis to get too tight so I lost erection and I had to to stop. When I went to sleep I kept having that feeling like I'm about to orgasm. I kept ignoring it cuz I thought it's gonna disappear ( I always trust my body to fix everything ). So I slept normally. When I woke up I didn't feel anything at all, but in the evening I started getting some feelings again coming and going, again when I slept it disappeared. So I've been like this for 4 days and today is the 5th. I already ejaculated 2 days ago and I got a wet dream today, and the feeling is still coming and going.

It makes me so stressed cuz it makes my heartbeat fast, my chest gets tight, and my jaw feels like I have to keep it clenched.

One thing I noticed is when I sleep it completely goes away and when I wake up things are almost perfect, untill I get up and then it starts coming slightly...

Do you think it's only a flare up and it will disappear or it's gonna be always there.

Nb: there's no pfpt here and I have to face it all by myself....

A weird feeling like I'm about to ejaculate...

Yesterday I made a post here about how I'm used to to clench my pelvis while masturbating, and 2 days ago I kept it relaxed but once I was about to ejaculate I lost erection and my pelvis got too tight and I had to stop.... Since that night I've been having a weird feeling like I'm about to ejaculate, especially if I think about it or if I think about anything sexual...+ I feel like there's some fluid stuck in my urethra and it's tight there as well.

Last night I had a feeling like I have to ejaculate to make things better, so I did. But today the feeling is still there, mostly when I think about it or when I think about something sexual.

Is it nerves' hypersensitivity ? Does it get better on it's own ? It's only 2 days and the feeling is really uncomfortable.

As long as I remember, for my whole life, I always clenched my pelvis when masturbating especially if I go to the second round ... Since I have hypertonic pelvic floor, all the pain and burning sensations disappread, so I kept trying to reverse kegels everytime possible and do belly breathing. The erections were amazing but when I ejaculated, I wanted to go to a second round and I did it while my pelvis relaxed and when I was 75% there to ejaculate, somehow I felt a big tension in my pelvis and I lost erection. So I stopped and when I tried to sleep I felt like the feeling of ejaculation comes and goes without ejaculating.

A day later, The tension went down a bit but still feeling that weird feeling of ejaculation especially if I get aroused.

I feel like it was a shock to my nervous system to keep my pelvis relaxed and doesn't know how to react.
